LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI)-- Two men are in jail after shots were fired last night in a Lafayette neighborhood.

Officers were called to a home on North 7th Street last night where police said the shots were fired around 11 P.M.

The family involved in this shooting says they know this neighborhood isn't the safest.But the mother News 18 spoke to said she never expected bullets to be shot at her own home.

"Mommy there's glass."

"There's glass here buddy I don't want you here."

Amber Smith said she's thankful more than ever to have her children still by her side, unharmed.

"Honestly, my first thought was I am just thankful," Smith said. "After I saw the bullet hole, I had decided to stay downstairs for about ten more minutes with the baby before because I was getting ready to head upstairs."

Smith said she's witnessed a lot of crime in her Lafayette neighborhood but never imagined a bullet would strike through her attic window.
